After a violent incident at work, Tamsin makes a fresh start in a cottage far from her old life. But the solitary cottage is actually a semi-detached, with only a thin wall between her & a total stranger.

The cover for HOME SICK on a gradient pink background with half a sheep's head. The cover features two sheep heads looking to the viewer, one with black shark-like eyes. The title of the book is in a pointed, thick font, swirling and dominant. Around the book text reads "This house isn't haunted. She is."

And the slow, unglamorous discipline of showing up for myself again and again.

The truth is, ‘nature cure’ isn’t applied evenly. It’s disproportionately placed onto women’s efforts, insight, and recovery.

What changed my life was hard work, tough decisions, and medication. Years of therapy. Painful realisations and reckonings. Sobriety. Unpicking the conditioning I’d inherited around parenting, and then doing better. Bupropion. Methylphenidate.

Recently at a Q&A, the chair asked me an excellent question: Why do you push so hard against the idea of a ‘nature cure’ when moments in your book Drystone - A Life Rebuilt might look like exactly that?

The answer is simple.

A woman sits on a low pile of rough grey stones in a grassy Highland landscape. She has short dark hair with a streak of white at the front and wears a black long-sleeved top, blue jeans, and brown hiking boots. One hand rests on her knee and the other on the stones beside her. Behind her are rolling hills, patches of trees, and steep, rocky slopes. The light is bright, and the scene looks calm and windswept. Photograph by Christie Hemm Klok

Grateful as with every year that Emily takes the time to do this, and I'm as excited seeing my books in here as for all the books I'm eager to read 🤩

I have a third release next year that isn't in here yet. Hopefully it will be announced early 2026 so I can finally talk about it, but: 🐰🛸🪞🥵🔪

The original short film is just seven minutes long and is perfectly unnerving.

I'm not sure how you adapt this into a feature film. But no matter what, the great original will be there. Worth a watch!

HOME SICK news is on the horizon, but I can't say more than that yet 🤐

Till then, here's another sneak peek of what you'll find on the back cover:
A moody pink graphic featuring the shark-eyed sheep from the cover of HOME SICK. Over the top the text reads: “The symmetry should have tipped me off.” After a violent incident at work, Tamsin goes looking for a fresh start in a remote cottage far away from her old life. Here she could make real friends, find a job she loves, become a whole new person, even. But the solitary cottage is actually a semi-detached, with only a thin wall separating her from a total stranger. Her neighbour is an enigma. Dowdy one moment, vivacious the next, but always wearing an unnerving smile. Tamsin can’t shake the feeling that there’s something wrong with her, especially when she starts experiencing disturbances in her own home. As the locals share strange stories about her house, and her barely contained paranoia spirals out of control, Tamsin begins to suspect that the past she was so desperate to escape might never let her go.

I'll need to replace a lot of devices soon. The first company who's able to offer me genAI-free tech and software is going to get all of my money.

Added to this, if you're a trans inclusive group wanting to do green woodworking or forest bathing or permaculture or naked drum circles (look, i work in a hippie field, sorry) or what-fucking-ever, you come to us and we will keep you safe. Promise.
hierath77.bsky.social Joanne Hall @hierath77.bsky.social · 4d
Just to say, apropos of nothing, we don't allow trans-exclusive groups to set up at Nantymeillion to do things (things being wild women camps or womens drumming workshops). This has come up in the past. If your "feminist" group excludes trans women you can go somewhere else. We don't want you.
